Recommend new laptop

[Admiral Snackbar]

So I have been running my HP dv7 for a loooong time now. I have been looking for a replacement for like 6 months now but nothing seems to really live up to my expectations. I have been through 2 XPS 15's + a Razer Blade Pro. The XPS's had some serious issues, first one motherboard died within like a day of having it, and the replacement had the backlight flicker issue (common on those) + a laggy as hell desktop (intel graphics cant handle 4k?). The Razer blade.. well more on that later maybe but what a pile of garbage that was.

 

I do alot of video/photo editing, LIGHT gaming, full adobe suite use. Here is what I am looking for in a laptop:

• 1440p or higher resolution (there goes 90% of the market)
• IPS panel or something with similarly good colors (glossy preferred) - XPS screen was amazeballs
• 15"+ screen size
• i7 + GTX 10 series card
• G-Sync preferred (because if I enable gsync on the desktop, I never have to deal with the intel graphics again. I hate that auto switching back and forth that you cant disable)

 

I do NOT care about:

• weight or size
• battery life
• noise (to a degree)

 

So I ask you, what is there that fits this? Honestly the biggest driver for me is the screen. I am STILL drooling over that XPS screen. Honestly I am thinking about giving the XPS 15 a 3rd try. If there is a better option though I'm all ears.

Not really sure about any other laptops, and I don't know if this is a better option than the XPS 15, good luck anyway!

Maybe look at a Lenovo Thinkpad P71?

In case anyone was wondering, this is what a $4000 razer blade is like, worst blacklight bleed I've ever seen + a keyboard that doesn't even work.

Pick the 4k screen in the options. It's the best 4k screen on the market as of the moment. 

There are options to ENSURE 0 backlight bleed but you pay for them (also located in the options).

CPUs: I wouldn't recommend the silicon lottery ones because the price premium is huge and you're not a benchmarker. 

RAM: At your discretion

Storage: DO NOT get 960s for storage. Get them for your boot drive. 850evos are perfectly adepquate for your storage drive. (HID will price match to whatever you find online I believe so please make sure you get the best deal possible by checking Amazon etc).

everything else is self-explanatory.

 

If you get it from HID, a man named Phoenix on NBR will actually help you clean up Win10 and install all the drivers and optimize your system if you find him on NBR and leave a review of your experience.
